2012/2013 Kamen Rider - Kamen Rider Wizard... CONFIRMED.

So is that the confirmed cast or just a speculated one?Because I really like it so far..

In fact, seeing the whole suit, I've warmed up to how everything is quite quickly.

Hmm... what's your stance on birthdays...?

:anime:


Agreed.... I'm very much digging it more now that we've seen the full costume.

Looking at his design, I really wonder how the rings will come into play. The fingers in the belt don't seem like they're going to get rings... There doesn't seem to be any docking area there or anything, just the hand, so will they really attempt to sell actual plastic rings for boys' fingers? How can that work considering how quickly a child grows? It'd be pretty hard to make rings that fit different children's hands...

Unless, maybe the hand is just a cover and the belt opens up to insert the collectibles inside it. In that case, the rings on his hand are likely just part of each form's design, rather than collectibles or anything like that.

Edi: The scanning idea also could work, I guess, but I'm not sure a scan would be very practical for a 5 gimmick in this case, considering how you'd have to pass one ring at a time, rather than loading them in a belt and then passing a scan through them like with OOO.

Edit 2: I've just seen the actual update on Henshin Justice. So, it is a ring scanner. I guess that confirms no 5 gimmick. He just scans one ring to transform and different ones for a specific abilities.

Speculation Form:

Probably a chip in the rings that gets passed over the Driver. Right hand is probably his main ring, while left handles form changes. Five rings to start? Main hand ring and four elements that can be switched on the left hand.

EDIT: As I post this, I see pictures posted that confirm this is pretty much the case.

Do I get some kinda props for calling the ring gimmick? :sweat::anime:

Sorry Keith, but that and the Wizard name have been the big rumors for a while now :thumbs:

Not too long ago, we were still discussing on whether Fourze will get a second season due to lack of info on the copyright request for the new Rider, and now we not only get several pictures of Wizard but the cast as well. How fast things have changes in just a week or so.

As for the Wizard's design, I like the body of the suit, particularly the long trench coat, but I'm iffy about the helmet and despise the driver belt. C'mon, the driver has a diagonal hand...and nothing else? I guess I have to see how it operates first, but couldn't they have come up with a better-looking driver? Seriously, I'm sure there are many amateur artists on the Internet who could come up with something alot better, even if they insist on using the hand for the driver's design.

*Sigh...*

It's fake then.

I find it interesting that his Rider Kick pose is the same as Fourze's. Considering his form in the picture is called Flame Style, I can imagine something similar to Ryuki where he's on fire when he's doing the kick or at the very least his foot is. I think it's been a while since we've got a specifically fire based Rider Kick.

That's not his rider kick...He's just relaxing...
